Era 6
Modern
Industry, war, and transformation
Napoleon at Austerlitz, Lincoln at Gettysburg, Einstein at the blackboard, Hitler in the bunker. A hundred and fifty years in which steam, then electricity, then the atom rewrites what a human life can do — and what a human state can do to other humans. First-person biographies of the generals, scientists, artists, and tyrants who lived through the fastest, bloodiest, most inventive stretch in human history.
